Features:

1. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): The PGM-FI system optimizes fuel delivery for smooth, consistent starts, better acceleration, and more efficient fuel consumption. It provides the necessary power for both low and high-speed operation.
2. Lean Burn Control Technology: This technology adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio to improve fuel efficiency, especially at cruising speeds. It helps reduce fuel consumption, giving you a longer range on a single tank.
3. VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control): VTEC optimizes engine performance by adjusting the intake valve timing and lift. This system improves fuel efficiency at lower speeds while providing additional torque and power during acceleration.
4. Quiet Operation: The BF225DURC features advanced noise-reducing technology, ensuring quiet operation with minimal vibration, making it more comfortable for long periods on the water.
5. Corrosion Resistance: The BF225DURC is built with corrosion-resistant materials, including a stainless-steel shaft and specially designed coatings, making it both freshwater and saltwater environments.
6. Power Trim & Tilt: The power trim and tilt system allows you to easily adjust the engine’s angle, optimizing performance and reducing drag for improved fuel efficiency.
7. Electric Start & Recoil Back-Up: The motor features an electric start system for convenience, and it also includes a manual recoil back-up to ensure you can start the engine if needed.
8. Digital CDI Ignition: The Digital CDI ignition system provides reliable and consistent starts, along with smooth performance, across a wide range of engine speeds and loads.
9. Environmental Compliance: The BF225DURC meets or exceeds EPA and CARB emission standards, making it an environmentally friendly option that reduces your ecological footprint.
10. Multi-Function Digital Display: The motor features a digital display that provides key information like fuel consumption, engine hours, and performance metrics, allowing you to monitor the motor’s status while on the water.

Best Applications:

• larger boats: The BF225DURC is larger vessels, including offshore fishing boats, sportfishing yachts, and commercial boats that require substantial horsepower for high-speed travel and heavy loads.
• Great for long-distance cruising and offshore fishing: Its powerful engine and fuel efficiency make the BF225DURC extended trips and offshore excursions.
• Commercial use: With its durability and reliable, this motor is suitable for commercial applications, including fishing charters, transport, and other heavy-duty tasks on the water.
